greentikipat~ thanks very much.
Here's a shot I took this afternoon out side so you can get a better sense of the real colors.
And, here's tonight's mistakes, er, I mean work.
Aloha from the middle of the pacific!

Heath~Thanks. But, it's just a little dog....or IS it?
I took the painting outside to get a shot, and a better version of the colors. Now that it's all about the colors, I'll just post the late afternoon shot and not bother with the very last shot of the night. The lights in my studio are not good for photos.
Aloha!

Hey T. C.
Rough day. If I wasn't sure I would have thought it was a Monday. It started bad, and then got worse! Yikes! Many things can go wrong when you are manufacturing overseas, and shipping half way around the world. And several of the things that can go wrong, all went wrong - last night and today. but Tiki Shark Inc will swim through these turbulent waters same as it's swam through much rougher waters than this!
Anyways, here's the painting for Saturday...
Aloha.

Hey TCers~
Well, here at "Casa del Tiki Shark" we have a guest from the mainland. That means I had to move out of the room I use as my painting studio. Now it's the guest room, and will be till next Monday. So, unfortunately that also means no progress shots till next week. (yikes! is the voodoo curse of the evil puppy ever going to end?) today we are doing what all people who've never been to the Big Island before do - we're going to the volcano! Nothing as much fun as an active volcano! Always a hoot! So, if you never hear from me again, you know that will mean that Pele was upset by the whole puppy thing and I fell in.
Aloha, and later (i hope)
Tiki "the virgin sacrifice" Shark

Aloha TC~
It was raining at the volcano! Again! So, Instead of a lava run, we stayed on this side of the island and showed our guest the resorts north of town.
Here's a cool sorta abstract tiki out side of the Kona Village Resort.
Me hanging at a swanky hotel...not painting.
Aloha~

Sorry Hewey, LLT, ~ Our house guest, who's currently living in what is normally my painting studio, leaves next Monday night. No painting till then. Just sight seeing...
Here's the beach we went to today.

Yeah Hewey, totally! But after the big move, which involved more $$$ than we thought, we are keeping expenses low. I've looked at a few spaces that would make cool painting studios - but I just couldn't see forking over the dough for one yet. Soon, but not quite yet. So, for now we make do.
